1. CALL TO ORDER 
 
Chair Morrison called the meeting to order at 1:00 pm. She acknowledged that the 
meeting was being held in traditional territory of the Coast Salish First Nations. She 
welcomed the public and introduced herself, Trustees, staff and recorder.  
 
2. COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING 
Presentation by Planner Milne regarding DE-RZ-2015.1 (Pandesign - Henning 
Nielsen)  Bylaw Nos. 219 and 220 
 
By general consent the agenda was approved as presented. 
 
Planner Milne provided a presentation on the process, purpose, and intent of the 
proposed bylaws. He reported that a new site-specific zone, R2(6), has been created 
with this proposal with densities in that zone limited to a maximum of three. He explained 
that if adopted the proposal will result in the transfer of one density to the Denman Island 
Density Bank to be used for affordable housing, donation of land to the Valens Brook 
Nature Reserve, and one density to the receiving property. He noted that there will be no 
net increase in overall density in compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) 
density cap, and that there would be increased protection for the identified areas of 
sensitive environmental values on the receiving property through a restrictive covenant 
registered on title.

3. QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION 
 
Planner Milne responded to questions with the following noted: 
 If the land becomes three separate properties could each have a house and a 
secondary cottage resulting in six dwellings? 
Secondary suites would be permitted; applications could be made for secondary 
dwellings through a Temporary Use Permit process which includes opportunity 
for public input.  
 What will the density being transferred to the receiving parcel be used for? 
It will be a residential density and can be used for purposes identified in the R2 
zone. 
 How many densities are presently on the receiving land? 
Currently there are two densities and if the rezoning moves forward there will be 
three. 
 Are density transfers to be used for affordable housing? 
The Density Bank holds densities to be used exclusively for affordable housing 
while density transfers can be used for dedication of land for a park, donation of 
land for conservation purposes, and sale of land for conservation purposes.
